Never heard of it and I've taken film/television class too. You can't blame the media for the ignorance of the KKK. They manage to pull people in by making them believe what they say is true. Them using the media, is just another way to get the blame off of themselves.
Look at music , some famous murders or killers even blame lyrics in music for there horrors. BLAH BLAH BLAH I could go on.....
People listen to the same music as some of the killers. And yet, they have never killed anyone. Why? Because, it was never the music that effected the killers to kill people in the first place.

You would be blind or death or dumb any of your choice to not acknowledge a steady influence that the media casts on our youth as well to even an older and more mature public.
Sure, the media influences people, but it doesn't force that person to take certain actions. People do that all on their own.


Peer pressure is a big issue in society and drugs are everywhere in the us as a major on going problem.
Peer pressure is not from the media. It's from a person's friends (or fellow youth) that persuade them to take drugs, or what have you.
